A guide to the Boxall Profile® Online and Pupil Premium
In the dynamic landscape of UK education, the emotional and social health of our pupils has never been more critical. At nurtureuk, we are dedicated to supporting schools in fostering environments that cultivate not only academic success but also holistic wellbeing. An essential element of this mission is ensuring that schools can effectively utilise Pupil Premium funding to support disadvantaged students. Here, we explore how the Boxall Profile® Online can be a pivotal resource in this journey.
Understanding the need for targeted support
Pupil Premium funding is designed to help disadvantaged pupils overcome barriers to success. This funding aims to close gaps in attainment and ensure every child has a fair chance to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. Effective utilisation of these resources is paramount, and that’s where the Boxall Profile® Online can help.
Boxall Profile® Online: A tool for empowerment
The Boxall Profile® Online is an innovative assessment tool that provides educators with deep insights into the social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs of all pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged. It serves multiple functions:
- Comprehensive assessment: It evaluates the social, emotional and development needs of pupils, identifying those who may need additional support to engage effectively with learning.
- Tailored interventions: The detailed analysis helps schools tailor interventions specifically to address the barriers faced by disadvantaged pupils, ensuring that Pupil Premium funding is directed in the most impactful manner.
- Monitoring and reporting: With its tracking features, the Boxall Profile® Online enables schools to monitor the progress of interventions over time and effectively report on how Pupil Premium funding is being used to improve SEMH outcomes.
Practical applications in schools
Integrating the Boxall Profile® Online into your school’s strategy can revolutionise how you support pupil wellbeing and utilise Pupil Premium funding. Here are practical ways schools can apply this tool:
- Early identification: Quickly identifying pupils who are at risk of falling behind due to SEMH needs ensures timely and appropriate interventions, preventing long-term academic and social difficulties.
- Focused group work and whole class: Use the tool to create focused group sessions for pupils with similar SEMH profiles or apply strategies across the whole class, maximising the impact of tailored group interventions.
- Pupil Development: Set and track achievable targets to support student development and improve group and class dynamics.
